Rasmus Lerdof, the creator of the first version PHP has always said that he hated programming, that it's really just the result he's after. Mr. Wikstrom has long been in the business of research and development of programming, so the programming itself is more of an art than a annoying task. These approaches will produce a different paradigm, and that paradigm will always stick with the language, no matter how many features it has.

A lisp programmer is not going to be impressed by Python even if it does have a lambda function now because the 2.4 release it's still founded on the same OO/procedural language that the 1.0 was. I'm not knocking Python, I'm just saying that to ask for a list of complaints doesn't get at the real issue of what he does love in a programming language.

Sorry about how I pronounce Erlang. I've only been exposed to it in print. I got the "air" part of it because it was developed at Ericsson, which I pronounce "air rick son". Once you get used to pronouncing something one way, it is hard to change. I hope it didn't annoy people too much.
